Though I get (and agree with) your point about none of those injuries being strongly correlated to poor conditioning. But they all are, in fact, soft tissue injuries, are they not?
I always kind of think of ligaments as there own thing, but technically you are correct they do fall under soft tissue. The thing with ligaments is they just are what they are. You aren't doing anything through exercise to protect an ACL, if it goes it goes not because you didn't do enough lifting or running. I always think of strains, pulls, etc as issues resulting from poor conditioning or off season work.
